Generally speaking the editor is
nearly always busy. He looks after
the interest of the town; and has as
much to do toward governing it as
those in power; he hurls columns
and half-columns of loaded long
primer at wrong-doers; gives a puff
as freely as a wealthy man gives a
nickle; inserts marriages and death
notices free makes fun of the slow
and old fogy ways; tries to put
enterprise into the town by engen-

large potatoes that were shown him,

The late lamented Josh Billings
said that IAN editor is a man whose
business is to investigate newspa-
pers. He writes editorials, grinds
out poetry, inserts deaths ana mar
riages, sorts out manuscript, keeps a
waste basket, blows up the devil
steals matter, fights other peoples
battles, sells his paper for a dollar
and half year takes white
beans and apple sass for pay
when lac can get it, works nineteen
hours out of twenty-four, knows no
Sunday, gets dunned by everybody,
lives poor, dies middle-aged, leaves
no money, is rewarded for a life of
toll by short but free obituary
puff in the opposition paper" AS
far as | know Josh Billings never
lun a country paper, but he knows
what he is talking about. There
was day when white beans and
apple sass, potatoes, wood, meat, and
other articles were taken as an
equivalent for cash, but that day
has passed. We all want hard cash.
The slow ways of country Journal
ism is rapidly passing, and papers
are made brighter, new novelties are
being introduced, and events are
chronicled in as small space as posi-
BILE. Above all the paper must be
geographically neat, make no mis-
statements, and stand by the town
wherein you expect to make liv-
ing cudgeling your brains to be able
to suggest and put forth something
new now and then, and as time rolls
on in its cycle, you may some day
lie down and pass into eternal bliss.

The graves, Of course, are as they were
hrst formed. The painted head boards that
Mr.. Moore erected have been taken awny and
burned, and substantial white marble slabs
have been erected in their places. These
stones are Of two kinds, but those of each
kind are uniform. Here and there, indeed
are stones that have been furnished by the
family of the dead, but the majority are of
the uniform make, fun nished by the govern
ment.
For the graves of identified soldiers the
tombstones are fiat, polished slabs, three feet
long, one-half being under ground, four
inches thick and twelve inches wide. On the
face side is raised shield, and on this is
recorded the number, name, rank and state
OF him who sleeps below. This is neat and
OF course somewhat monotonous. but it is tbe
best generous minded public could do For
tine unknown soldiers the stones are four
inches square and project only five inches
above ground. The rows OF graves are about
Ten or twelve feet apart. Everything is so
neatly cared for, the spot is so replete with
memories, the symmetrical rows of tomb
stones are so symbolic of n similar cause and
an equal fate, the pleasant grounds are So
shady and quiet that one feels the scene
deeply impressive. Here and there. ton ore

A Bright Face.

Every one likes to take turn out
OF doors upon bright day that has
had cloudy and rainy ones going
before it. Faces share with the sun,
shine in brightness. But the sun
does not always shine, and some
days must be dark and dreary," as
the poet writes, Now, there are
some persons whom you don't wish
to meet on gloomy day because
they add to the gloom. The society
OF Others you seek, because they are
always hopeful and Frightening in
Their effect They find out the
bright side and look on that. Near
~ everything has its bright side, cx-
cept doing and being wrong. 4

man was vexed at missing the train
but by missing it he met a good
friend who had come great distance
to see him, and could stay but q
few hours. If on the watch for it,
that bright spot can be found on
the darkest objects; while the mind
is at the same time in position to
catch and enjoy the bright objects as
they pass along.
\ bright face creates brightness in
the persons who wears it. Try to
carry your face bright and cheerful
inside, and the effort to keep up"
and "bc bright" draws into view the
bright and hopeful things belonging
to life. One boy will go to the shore
and pick up all the black stones
another will select the white peb-
bles. So in your life, choose from
its shores the bright stones and your
face will shine from their light.
Others are made bright by IL
cheerful countenance. A smile kim
dies a smile. One cheerful, hopeful
person can melt out all the GOODNESS
and drive off all the stiffness of
roomful--.just as Il strong light
brought into dark room will scat
ter all its darkness.
The gleeful laughter of a child,
natural, unrestrained and prolonged,
has often thawed the formality out
of company. One face after another
has responded to the child's sport |
until the whole number were won
to freedom and happiness, Just as
tip after tip of the mountain catches
the early misunderstanding it until |
the whole mountain and valley are
bathed in glorious light.
On the scales Il sour face and
bright face weigh thesame in pounds
and ounces. But to be worn the
sour face is Il wearing, wearying
burden, while the bright face is like
a pair of wings--it helps one on.
A bright face can be cultivated.
Be easily pleased with what people
are doing for you. Try to please
Others. Don't allow suspicion or
prejudice to poison the mind against
Others. Keep selfshness and greed

bright heart, and you will wear a
winning, bright face
